Two Rings Shy

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town

I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clownI could spend an hour on my makeup and my hair

Shoes to tall, dress to small, and lacy underwear

Go down to the bar, and buy myself a drink

Dangle there all perfect, like a puppet on a stringI ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town

I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clownYou got girls that sing and dance, I hear ones an acrobat,

You got 'em swinging from the chandelier, well honey I don't swing like that

The main attraction's leaving, let the side show pay the rent

Take this diamond back and you'll be two rings shy of the big top tentI ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Ain't gonna paint this pretty face, like you paint the town

I ain't wastin' good mascara, just to watch it runnin' down

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clownI ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown

Tiptoe 'cross the tight-rope, till you turn me upside down

Cut the cable, pull the net, just to let me hit the ground

I ain't gonna get dressed up, just to be your clown
